i've been wanting to make caramel popcorn for a while. it's really simple but i didn't want to make it for nothing. ryan's not really into caramel popcorn and i didn't want it to go stale. also sometimes caramel popcorn is nasty. so i was hoping this recipe would work.
* 1/2 cup butter * 2 cups brown sugar * 1/2 cup corn syrup * 1 teaspoon salt * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 5 quarts popped popcorn (about 3 bags) Directions 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popcorn in a very large bowl. 2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat. 3. Place in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
it's a very easy recipe and better than other caramel popcorn recipes out there. i'm giving bags of this and the double chocolate biscotti to my neighbors for christmas. oh yea in the above photo, i usually use my camera phone so this picture is all discolored.
